		<description><![CDATA[Hmm. It&#8217;s been a while, hasn&#8217;t it? Things have got quite dusty in here. Sorry about that. I&#8217;ve been away, getting married. Long story, the stuff of legend. Honest. You know what, though- weddings are actually fairly bland affairs. The whole point of them is their normality. &#8216;Ah yes,&#8217; you say to yourself as the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone knows who U2 are, right? Ageing stadium rockers, miniscule singer with a giant ego, god-botherers, sometimes a bit too keen on sticking their noses in where they don&#8217;t belong, more like a giant, world-straddling brand than a rock group? With Or Without You, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Live Aid, Mullets, good old Oirish boys who [...]

She&#8217;s a tragic footnote in the story of one of music&#8217;s cultural icons, the late lamented lionised Kurt Cobain. She&#8217;s a woman in a man&#8217;s world whose junkie husband ran out on her [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I like Tunng. It&#8217;s a really good word. It sounds good to say, like &#8216;tongue,&#8217; but somehow more visceral- you savour the sound as it comes out of your mouth. I may just sound nuts but I do genuinely like language that much. t&#8217;s fun. It feels good to make those sounds. Much like this [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Kele Okereke, of Bloc Party, has gone solo, releasing a new album, &#8216;The Boxer&#8217; on the 21st of June. He&#8217;s also saying he wants to &#8216;go dance,&#8217; which has been kind of apparent since they released &#8216;Flux&#8217; in 2007 but there you are. What with the guitarist, Russell Lissack, releasing a new album with his [...]

		<description><![CDATA[ArdentJohn are a five-piece outfit who have been kicking around in Scotland for the last few years, and have made a bit of a name for themselves locally, without ever really exploding into national consciousness. I guess these days, you&#8217;d call them folk rock. Back in the day, of course, we&#8217;d call them &#8216;a bit [...]

I love Cellos, I love apocalyptic violins and drums and guitars which sound like they&#8217;re being recorded in a Cathedral. I love the noise, I love the slow build-up of tension in a fifteen-minute feedback epic, I love the absurd, over-the-top drama, passion and sheer excitement [...]

		<description><![CDATA[This, the fifth album from Bristol&#8217;s finest (sorry, Portishead) is eclectic as ever- a diverse array of different vocalists, and a magpie approach to musical styles and sounds. Only right and proper, too- this did take seven years to make, after all. It does hang together as a whole, however- there seems to have been [...]

		<description><![CDATA[So the moment finally arrives. Throngs gather. The clamour of nations grows silent. And across the land all music-loving folk wait. But unfortunately, they&#8217;ll have to wait for a new Radiohead album a little bit longer. In the mean time, here&#8217;s my top album of the Noughties. Once again, it&#8217;s a choice which I&#8217;m sure [...]
